I don't think you're 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.720 getting any of that getting eight. I mean, other than that, 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.160 it's like eighty two. Now you're not getting that one. 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.000 Seventy four now not getting that one. 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.360 Tell you I'll strike a deal with Rowdy.

Pads have come on a tight end, got paid. 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.880 As always that happens with Talking Cowboys. There's breaking news 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:07.960 all surrounding us. 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.760 There's gonna be I was about to say, there's gonna 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:14.360 be a breaking news segment like at today Pacific time. 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:15.920 That's just how it goes. 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.880 But we also had a bit of a roller coaster, gentlemen, 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:22.839 a bit of a roller coaster with the emotions, with 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.600 the expectations of the season, with the expectations. 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.800 Of a former first round pick. 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.719 Can I go through the timeline real quick, let's go 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.800 to this press isn't great to begin with, man, So 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:34.760 you're doing this on top of all of that, it's 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:35.359 just not great. 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:36.560 Well, this will help you relive it. 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.360 And for those that may have missed the roller coaster yesterday, 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.680 here's how it started out here in practice, Tyler Geiton, 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:48.320 second year first round pick back in twenty twenty four's draft, 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.440 and of course starting at the left tackle spot. He's 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:53.880 having a great practice and what I thought was his 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:58.120 best practice to this point. Stonewall Donovano's roku a couple 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.800 of times was really solid with his feet, his footwork, 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:02.960 his hands were looking powerful. I mean, all of it 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.719 looked like it was coming together. Wasn't a perfect practice, 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.599 but it was his best practice so far. Then at 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.960 approximately one twenty nine pm Pacific time, he goes down 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:13.520 with an injury. 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.240 He got tangled up with Tyler Smith. 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.440 Azraku was kind of tangled up and was down on 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.919 the field at one twenty nine. About three hours later, 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:24.360 just under three hours later, at four to twenty one 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.360 Pacific time, he in rap. Report from the NFL Network 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.599 reports that it is feared to be a torn ACL 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.520 for Tyler Geiton. Everyone starts to freak out. What do 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.560 we do now? Do you bump Tyler Smith out to 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.279 left tackle? Do you go try and resign Tyron Smith? 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.520 What are the certain possibilities that are at hand? But 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.240 either way, our former first round pick has a torn 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.040 ACL and this is not good for our future of 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:52.239 the offensive line. Then less about less than about an 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:58.080 hour later, to the rescue comes Todd Archer at ESPN at. 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:01.919 What is let me see, Oh my phone's closing on me? 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:02.960 Like fifteen minutes later. 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:06.080 Yeah, it was like not much longer. Five oh nine 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:07.400 pm Pacific time. 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:11.560 Todd Urcher reports that Tyler Guidon's acl is intact after 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.640 an nr MRI and he has a bone fracture that 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:18.680 will not require surgery, looking at a four to six. 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:21.159 Week recovery, and that is where we stand. 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.880 It felt like all of Cowboys Nation took a sigh 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.680 of relief that they're left tackled. Not only is going 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.239 to be available this year, but has a possibility, Tommy, 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:33.760 as you wrote on Dallascowboys dot com, Tyler Goiden has 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.120 a chance to play week one and that is almost 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:36.880 It feels like a. 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:40.200 Miracle, absolutely, and it's a like sigh of relief is 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.839 the perfect way to put it, because man, if Tyler 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.520 Guiden is out for the whole year, that that would 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.360 have you don't even need to say, we know how 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.960 brutal that would have been, right, just because obviously things 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.400 didn't go his way last year. He's starting to show 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:57.120 signs of progression this camp already, but now you know he's. 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:58.440 Still missing important reps. 0:06:58.680 --> 0:06:58.920 Right. 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.760 That's the tough part about this is the optimistic view 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.279 of things as Tyler Gotton is back week one, but 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.159 the bottom line is he's missing the rest of camp, 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.880 and this camp is super important for him and he 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.080 needs He needed these reps. 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.960 He needed the time to sheell in with everyone around him. 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.960 He needed the time to get used to the physicality 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.320 of things and get his body back and form for 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.080 playing in season. And now you know you're looking at 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:25.320 a window where got You know, if he's not ready 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:28.600 by week one, you de force him out there week two. 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.560 I don't think that the Cowboys should be in any 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:33.120 rush to get Tyler gotten back. 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:34.480 If you want Tyler. 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.480 Gotten back, you make sure that he's fully healthy so 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.280 there's no chance of this happening again. You make sure 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.920 that he's physically ready and capable of handling that workload 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.000 because they're gonna have to play some really good edge 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.600 rushers this year. Like Week two against New York, You've 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.560 got three guys who can get after the quarterback and 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:54.320 Brian Burns, Abdull Carter, caveon Thibodeau and then throughout the 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:55.880 rest of the season, you're you're gonna see that all 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.000 the time as well. So you know the Bears the 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.120 next week, you've got Montes sweat. So it's gonna be 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.360 a tough challenge and it's gonna be a fine line 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:04.440 the Cowboys have to walk. 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.320 But at the end of the day, you are happy 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:07.880 that it's not. 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.760 A season ending injury and you're happy that you can 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.360 get Tyler gotten back at some point this year and 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.280 week one. If he's able to get back in time 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.640 and he's able to recover that great, then even better 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:22.280 because that's a staple of the Cowboys offensive line, not 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.200 because he has played that way, but because he needs 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:26.160 to be as a left tackle. 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:30.160 Listen shouts out to Britt Brown and Jim Rrow for 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:35.440 probably doing the mister Miyagi over the offended knee of 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.520 Tyler Guidon because Cowboys, you know, whatever might have happened. 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:40.840 And I say that kind of jokingly now that we 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:42.640 have an optimistic outlook for. 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.480 I did a rain dance in Southern Caro. It didn't work, But. 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:49.000 I tell you what, considering and like you said, Nick 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.960 Harrisy said this on Twitter, and it was very well put. 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.199 As many torn acls as the Dallas Cowboys training staff 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:59.040 has to unfortunately deal with on an annual basis, they 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:03.240 they're pretty good at being able to diagnose that pre MRI. Okay, 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:06.360 so they feared that it was torn based on their 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:10.079 pre MRI testing. But thankfully the MRI proved that showed 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:12.320 that it was still intact his acl is and that 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:14.480 saves the Cowboys in a lot of ways. Number One, 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:16.800 they don't have to and we don't have to entertain 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.320 the conversation of potentially moving all pro left guard Tyler 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.560 Smith out to left tackle. Thankfully, let's keep that where 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:25.800 it is in the grave for now. It also keeps 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:28.319 the Cowboys from having to glance potentially at a free 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:32.040 agency pool that looks very very poor. 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.120 We were talking about yesterday. It was rough. 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:38.480 It's rough. Tyron Smith is officially retired, probably doesn't have 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.000 any kind of inclination to come out of retirement. So 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:42.920 there's that. But then when you look at names like 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:46.760 David Boktiari, Charles Leno, Donovan Smith, yes, those are NFL 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.280 veterans with a lot of skins on the wall. However, 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.679 bok Tari and Leno. Neither of those guys took a 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.320 single snap in twenty twenty. 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.000 Four, and some of those guys are also retired. 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:58.040 Not just that, but also major injury that they've dealt 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.800 with recently, a hip injury, a foot in here and there. 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.520 The pool of free agency looks abysmal, for lack of 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.640 a better way to put it, So that turns the 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.720 Cowboys inward. Now, the good news is it's like you said, 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.320 and like Tommy Rope, Tyler Gotton could be back on 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:14.840 the field as early as Week one against the Eagles, 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.200 if there is an abundance of caution, maybe Week two 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.640 home opener against the Giants. So now it's a much 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:21.880 smaller issue. You're gonna look at a guy like a 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.360 chem of Dnergy who's having a strong camp. You're gonna 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.120 look at some of these other guys. You're gonna give 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:31.640 what's his name, the rookie. It's his rookie six. Yeah, 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.280 Cornelia's who just sent a guy to hell yesterday and 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.080 I put that clip up on Twitter. So you're gonna 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.000 look at yeah stronger. You're gonna look at some of 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.160 these younger guys. You're gonna give Matt will let's go 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.320 another chance to show that he can he can do something. Obviously, 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.040 he battled shoulder injuries early in his career, but he's 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.679 been healthy over the past year plus, so hopefully he 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:53.040 can stay that way. Point being now, it's a it's 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.000 a situation where yes, it's unfortunately Tyler gut And will 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:59.360 miss valuable camp and preseason reps, much like last year 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.880 when he dealt with some smaller injuries. However, to know 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.960 that he'll be back in time to play the majority, 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.439 if not the entirety of the season, when the initial 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.240 fear was that he'd be lost for not just this season, 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.640 but then we're having the conversation does he start next 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:15.640 camp on the pup list? You no longer have to 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:17.880 have those concerns, and the young man, like Tommy said, 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.920 he's making strides. We're all seated in camp. We're seeing 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:24.839 his off season changes in diet and his regiment change 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.000 and his training with Tyrone Smith. We're seeing that start 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.000 to pay off. You hate that he's going to miss 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:30.360 this time, but at least he'll be back. 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:32.439 Absolutely. Do you guys believe in miracles? 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:33.000 I do. 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:37.439 Now I'm Michael's baby. 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.280 O to spell miracle. You need three letters, m R 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:41.440 and boys. 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:45.880 The fact we had people waiting on the MRI to 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:47.920 officially report this news. 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:49.200 I really do. 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.160 I want to give kudos. 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:56.920 To a miracle, but I'm saying you gotta listen to 0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:01.120 me here, but the A and the the guys that 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:04.400 actually waited to run this story. Of course, you know, 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:06.600 everyone wants to be first. They don't always need to 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.160 be right. In this case, there are a lot of fans. 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:10.319 There are a lot of fans out there that are 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.600 expecting news to come from a trustworthy source. I think 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:17.360 now in today's age, it's hard to find those things. 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:20.760 Not for nothing, but Dallascowboys dot Com doesn't an incredible 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:24.040 job of giving you the correct news. It may not 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.400 be the very first thing that you see, but it's 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.719 always right. And I want to give a shout out 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.199 to these guys here. If you're not following these guys, 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.680 you're doing yourself with disservice when it comes to Cowboys 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.160 News Cowboys Resources, because it's the best in the game. 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:36.920 It seriously is. 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:38.839 Thank you really quickly before I throw it back to you, Kyle, 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.040 I'll be remiss if I didn't mention in this competition 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.199 to figure out the left tackle situation. Awsome Richards. Awesome 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.280 Richards is going to play into this in a big way, 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.160 as far as he might be. That's why I said, 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.560 I'd be remiss if I didn't miss mention awesome Richards. 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.720 That's so I gotta let's let's do a little exercise here, 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:56.160 all right, Let's say. 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.480 No, no, Josh like I can do this. 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:13.160 Yeah, you also can't spell misery without mr negative. He still, 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.959 So that's what I'm kind to kind of go off here. 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:20.160 Let's say Tyler Guidan's out for week one or week two? 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.520 What what do you do? What do you do at 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.360 left tackle? Do you move Tyler snow back out there? 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.240 Do you keep him inside? Do you what do you do? 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.760 Because here's the thing, Brian Schotheimer said it over and 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.880 over and over and over and over again. The best 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:38.800 five guys are going to be out there. I think 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:40.440 Tyler Smith is an. 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:41.160 All Pro guard. 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:45.200 I think he is a good left tackle. And right now, 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.920 if you have a good left tackle on this team 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:50.080 and you don't feel like you've got that behind him, 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:54.160 or you have a serviceable left tackle behind him, then 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.360 you know, and bear with me here Tyler Smith to 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.760 left tackle, You move Tyler Looker to the left side 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.040 where he played in college at Alabama, and then you 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.240 put bra Khaffman, who stepped in last year when Zach 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.520 Martin was heard at right guard. If I don't think 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:12.559 as a temporary as a temporary solution, that is a problem. 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.479 It's it's definitely not what it would make things complicated. 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:16.440 And I don't mean to cut you off. 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.560 Is Tyler Smith's contract situation, sure, because if he wants 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:23.560 language in there about switching left tackle. 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.200 And because then that money is going to change drastically. 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:28.440 Leney is bigger. 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.360 Much more than left guard money, bigger money, and I 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:36.400 think you should be const compensated accordingly. 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:41.560 But as a temporary solution, this was. 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.280 A full season thing. I agree with you, Tyler. 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.120 Tyler Smith outside, we figured it out because we've got 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:50.200 an until the opening game. You've got an opportunity to 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.320 practice him at that spot and be solidified up front. 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.600 But we've seen what the roller coaster in the revolving 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:57.000 door of. 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:59.840 An offensive line looks like at times, especially when it 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:01.120 involves Tyler Smith. 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.760 He's an All Pro interior offensive lineman. 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.640 And he's a good left tackle You're right, and I 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:09.280 think that would have been the full solution if because 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.720 you have more interior depth anyways, you've got guys like 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:15.080 Hoffman and Bass and Jones when he comes back hopefully 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.280 that you can kind of rely on. Whereas your tackle 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:22.520 depth you don't have the same amount of confidence in it. 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.280 I don't want to move my one solidified part of 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.800 my offensive line for one or two games. If it's 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:30.920 for the whole season and we can practice it and 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.600 he can get the reps at left tackle, then fine, 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.040 But I'm not gonna sit here and move him back 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.520 and forth for a game or two just to survive. 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:41.680 Does the opponent of week one change your mind? 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:46.200 It should, but it doesn't because they're gonna tear you 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:50.080 up anyways. Because what about the confidence level of Tyler Smith? 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:51.920 If you moved him out there for week one and 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:53.440 he's only going to be there for a week or 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:57.720 two and he gets absolutely annihilated as a tackle, and 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:01.480 then you have to do that and you have to 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.160 move that around. I would rather Tyler Smith be healthy 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.800 and in the middle of the spot he's practiced throughout 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:10.360 the last two or three years consistently, and keep him 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:10.840 at left. 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.280 Guard if I want real quick, if you're wanting to 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:15.400 look at week one and you plan around that opponent, 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:17.440 then Tyler Smith needs to play left guard because you've 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:18.320 got Jordan Davis. 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.960 That's my point. This is why the opponent being the 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.760 Philadelphia Eagles doesn't change the fact that I agree with 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:27.600 Kyle wholeheartedly. Here. When you're talking about moving Tyler Smith, 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:30.360 you're talking about several things, right, because it's going to 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.280 cause a rift, the shockwave down the line. Like you said, 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.000 now you're gonna have to go Tyler the Booker over 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.040 to left guard. You're going to have to, you know, 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.760 bring bro Hoffman up and move him all those things, 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:42.240 when in actuality, what I would prefer to do is 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:46.640 keep the Tyler Booker, Cooper Bebe and Tyler Smith trio 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:49.240 in the middle for George, Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:50.880 and have to deal with that front. And then I'm 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:54.720 going to challenge Brian Schottenheimer to scheme accordingly. Knowing that 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.240 you might have a little bit of a weaker spot 0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:00.600 on your left tackle, scheme for at least one week 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:04.400 can probably help solve, solve, or at least soften that issue. Right, 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:06.720 So whatever the play calling needs to be adjust that 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:08.719 for week one, knowing that you're a little bit more 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:11.040 vulnerable on the left tackle spot than you had initially 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.840 planned to be, and that for me would go a 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:17.280 long way and giving me instant confidence in Brian Schottenheimer's 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.320 ability to call and handle an entire playbook. So I 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.200 would I would challenge Schottenheimer in that aspect. 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:23.280 Yeah, And that could. 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.280 Be as simple as having players that roll out to 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:27.080 the right side. I mean it could be something like 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:30.000 that where it's not only scheming for protection on the side, 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:31.440 but rolling out. 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.320 At least a couple of read options keep them off balance. 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:37.680 And but you're really going to need to establish the 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.320 run game, especially against the Philadelphia Eagles, and the better 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:42.239 way to do that is to keep Tyler Smith right 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:42.760 where he is. 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:45.760 Yeah, and it's I think it's I'm with you as 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:47.560 across the board. I think you know you keep Tyler 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:49.080 Smith roy Is. I just wanted to go through the 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:49.879 thought exercise. 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:52.560 No, but I would argue that if we're talking best 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:55.439 starting five, and if this is something Brian Schottenheimer believes in, 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:57.919 I think you're right on the money. I think that 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:00.440 is your best starting five in the case that Tyler 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:02.840 Goyiton isn't ready to go, but it's how he arrange them. 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:04.560 Really, Yeah, yeah, it's how you arrange them. 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:09.000 And I think, you know, making one move instead of three, 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:11.560 especially if it's only for a short time period, is 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:13.320 what you need to do there. So you lean on 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.240 Austin Richards and became a Dentegy who's had a good camp, 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.120
